Spring Handmade Cavalcade Sponsor: The Ink Pad

The Ink Pad is one of the coolest crafty stores in New York City. Located at 37 Seventh Avenue at 13th Street in Manhattan, you can find stamps of every size with any image or saying, stamp pads of any color, or paper of every thickness or shade. When you visit, be sure to leave a substantial amount of time to browse the shelves of stamps that cover every inch of the wall!

Whether you are a craft enthusiast or just showing a preliminary interest in making your own cards, The Ink Pad has everything you need. To get that extra bit of inspiration, take one of their many classes. From seasonal card making to advanced paper techniques, you'll be sure to find the right fit for your mood and skill level.

The Ink Pad also makes custom stamps and has an arsenal of designs and ink colors for you to choose from. Treat yourself to an address stamp, or a stamp for your business. Buy a custom name stamp for your new niece or nephew. Make a stamp out of a sketch that you're particularly proud of!

Not only does this little store have amazing products, but the staff couldn't be friendlier. I recently went there with my two daughters, ages 1 and 3, and they were busy picking up stamps, glue, and paper and bringing them to Barbara, the store manager, so she could "ring them up".

The {NewNew} is so pleased that The Ink Pad is an overall sponsor at our upcoming event, the Spring Handmade Cavalcade. They will be contributing items to the swag bags (given to the first 100 people at the show) and will also be distributing literature and class schedules at the event itself. Be sure to stop by the Cavalcade and say hello to them, and definitely swing by their beautiful store.
